M1KTA DX, contest or IOTA activations details should appear here. For QSL (especially IOTA) I will use Buro, Direct or Clublog OQRS. I might use ARRL LoTW if I can sort out certificates. Please note I do not use eQSL.

40m 4 SQ now 40m 2 el....

I went old school.... had some spare 50ohm line. Once got one 40m
GP up added a second and the phased one (added length to feeder) and fed
both at same time so sort of directional. I can remove the 'reflector',
undo a bit of coax. Far from ideal but it is for contest, on an island with
nothing but what I brought so no time now... Works was qrp with 35dB SNR
into EU last night which is good enough.

The CAT5... yukk was some copper coated steel rubbish... the 60m voltage drop was so bad I junked it.

Internet as jumped on the garbage boat at 5am.... but returning now...
